Evaluate and use sources to produce effective and ethical arguments
This assignment was for my Gender health class. It was made to express the limitations and ethical failure that the economy has created to divide men and women, specifically in the business field. I used many different sources to support my arguments. These sources allowed me to make factual statements, which made my arguments more credible.
With researching and getting information from supporting sources, I learned a lot of statistics and facts that I had not known before. It was an eye-opener to see the difference in economical levels between not only men and women period, but even the difference between genders that certain countries can have based on their rank in the economy. I have not done much of anything that is similar to this piece of work. As an English major, research-based work, such as this, seems to be not very common. Being able to do this kind of work is very important to me because it opens my eyes to different ways of arguing. As I stated before, as an English major, I don’t find myself using statistics or facts, so having the opportunity to do this, expands my knowledge of how broad the English field can be.
This knowledge makes me want to dive deeper into how I can begin incorporating statistics and facts into different subjects of English essays and literature, such as rhetoric, Greek tragedies, and ethics. It would be interesting to see which way the paper might turn.
